Fallen Comrades Catnip

Oh, our Fallen Comrades Catnip— possibly the Shady Cat family’s best value! These are the buds that were shook loose or fell off of the stem when trimming and packing the Sublime Buds. The Fallen Comrades might not have “completed their mission” but know that they are just as potent and honorable as the other fellows that made it. As they don’t look quite as “pretty” as the buds in their whole form, we pack them up—as much as these adorable, glass, latching jars will hold— and offer them for a rockin’ good price!

About Shady Cat Social Club

Shady Cat Social Club was started by an RN, Nikki, and the bulk of her experience is working with the elderly. She worked both as a staff nurse and in a management role. The idea for Shady Cat Social Club was born in 2019 during Nikki’s personal frustration with the corporatization of our healthcare system. All of the necessary documentation and policies that take healthcare workers away from the bedside really affects our ability to connect and comfort patients the way that they need and deserve.

However, when patients were given a stuffed animal to hold or when a therapy animal would visit, Nikki saw an utterly remarkable change in their demeanor and it was a huge “light bulb” moment for her. Having an animal to pet or just cuddle with calmed even the most frustrated dementia patients. She saw an opportunity to help others that needed comfort. She wanted to spread this impact by creating a space with a mission to bring health and happiness to cats and PEOPLE everywhere.

The main takeaway is that a pet can bring comfort without words, medicine, having to drive to an appointment, etc. It is a quiet and calm form of “therapy” really. Just love and companionship—something everyone needs like air and water, but not everyone has access to—and that is where Shady Cat comes in. WE can provide the access and assistance.

We also believe that organic, high-quality, and sustainable cat products should be available to all of our cat families.

At SCSC we donate profits to help more deserving people afford to adopt cats, pay for their upkeep and health, and encourage more cat therapy teams.
